Rottnest and the Quokkas

Today we got up early and rode our bikes to the ferry terminal to catch the express to Rottnest Island. It was a great cruise over and upon arrival we set off on our bikes to explore the island. 

We firstly went to the lighthouse and it wasn't long after that when we came across our first quokka. They are very cute! 

We rode to Parakeet Bay and had a swim there. Troy tried snorkelling, but as it was a bit windy and choppy, visibility was poor. 

We rode further around, and came across a group of very friendly quokkas, and we stopped and had a pat! 

As we ran out of drinking water and had two very hungry kids on our hands, we headed back through the middle of the island for Thomson Bay and grabbed some refreshments. Troy had some bike issues so he and Stella stayed put while Ronan and I explored the other side of the island, coming across the gorgeous Salmon Bay, a great place to moor our next home!!!

And Little Salmon Bay, another gorgeous beach.

 We then headed back and the kids had some Aqua fun while we waited for the ferry home. 

After riding all day we were all exhausted and crashed when we got back!
